Subject: [PATCH] xen-gnttab: do not add m2p override entries for blkback mappings
From: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@...zon.com>
Commit 5dc03639 switched blkback to also add m2p override entries
when mapping grant pages but history seems to have forgotten why
this is useful if it ever was.
The blkback driver does not need m2p override entries to exist
and there is significant overhead due to the locking in the m2p
override table. We see about a 10% improvement in IOP rate with
this patch applied running FIO in the guest.
See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1590932 for a full
analysis of current users.

A backported version of this has been heavily tested but the testing
against the latest Linux tree is light so far.
